Premier and Business account holders have additional flexibility for managing Multiple currency payments.

Accepting Payments

PayPal lets you choose what currencies to accept and how you would like to accept them. When a buyer sends a payment in a currency you hold, the funds will automatically appear in your account in the balance of the given currency. When a buyer sends a payment in a currency you do not hold, you will be asked to Accept or Deny the payment as shown below:

Accept the payment and open a new currency balance

Accept the payment and convert it to your primary currency

Block the payment

You may also set up your Payment Receiving Preferences to indicate how you would like
to handle incoming currency payments.

Receiving fees will be assessed in the currency in which the funds were sent. Payments converted to your primary currency will be converted at a competitive exchange rate. Learn more

If you use Instant Payment Notification (IPN), the IPN page has been updated with information about the new Multiple Currencies variables.

Transactions between Malaysian buyers and sellers can only be conducted in Ringgits. If a Malaysian seller receives a payment in USD from a Malaysian buyer, the payment will automatically be converted to Ringgits. If a Malaysian seller receives a payment from a non-Malaysian buyer, it will automatically be converted into seller’s primary currency.
